Man Versus Fridge


The epic battle of our times, presented in a short fiction form by me. Well, posted and hoisted onto the internet courtesy of Across the Margin. The origins of this story began with the Collected Letters of John Berryman. One of the entries is not a letter to Saul Bellow or a TMI correspondence with his son Paul, but rather an angry missive to the real estate company managing his apartment in NYC. I thought this might be an interesting kind of tale of woe to work with, and work with it I did. To results deemed satisfactory to Across the Margin. Read and enjoy. Then listen to the humming coming from your fridge.

A Trinity of New Poems

 


3 poems in the latest edition of Night Picnic, including one (at the end) inspired by an old article on Bukowski in Rolling Stone and a lazy use of the word "reincarnation."

Read Now Before It Goes Away

Oystering circa 1915

Ripe Literary Journal, which published a poem of mine in its second issue, is going to be shutting down. Such is the ephemeral nature of our reviews. Catch a glimpse of it before it is taken away.

My Scheme: Fun with Punctuation

 


A SHORT POEM by YOURS TRULY. A sort of Finnegan's Wake structure condensed into a scam spam email. Or is it the other way around? Thanks to CAUSTIC FROLIC for publishing it.

Kafka, Asbestos, & Prose

Good news, I won a small writing contest. This one was held to promote the work of Robin Hemley's new novel Oblivion, an "after autobiography" where a recently deceased writer gets to encounter Franz Kafka in the afterlife. Read my entry and enjoy.
